China Glaze Hologram from the Tronica Collection. Easily one of my all-time favorite collections. Formula is perfect, the color is wearable… I’m not a silver fan, but I find myself wearing it a lot lately.

Ah, the clearance rack. Always a good find. Except I spend way too much money. “Oh, this is only $1.50! Oh, this is only $1.50! Oooh, THIS is only $1.50,” next thing I know, I’ve spent $30 and forgot to buy what I went in the store to get in the first place!

Aaaanyway, I got L’Oreal’s Check Me Out while it was on The Almighty Clearance Endcap at Walgreen’s. I hate pink, but this caught my eye, I bought it, came home, and put it on straight away. And you know what? I love it. The formula was very good, it’s super shimmery, but with no threat of frostiness. And it’s shiny all on it’s own. No topcoat in these pictures.

Just a quick post to clear out some space. I quick little “look” I threw together for a job interview last week. It’s three or four slow, steady coats of Flip Flop Fantasy, and two coats of I Herd That, both from (GUESS) China Glaze.

If your eyes aren’t bleeding from the overload of neon coral, you can see how gorgeous I Herd That is up close?! I guess it’s patchy up close, but hey. It’s a glitter. It’s fine.

Packaging | The outer cardboard box is a violet and black marble. I almost didn’t want to get rid of it! The outer surface of the palette is a blackened violet soft rubber with a rainbow graphite gem “ud” detail. The palette opens with an automatic hinge and a rectangle button. It has to be pushed rather hard to open to prevent accidental openings, but it’s still no more difficult to open than usual.

The Palette | The entire inside of the upper lid is just one huge mirror, which I love. The hinges keep the palette open for easy awesome shadow access. 20 shadows, four rows of five.

Included is a brush with this one—no eyeliner.

Desperation, Junkie, Muse, and Chaos.

Jagged, Occupy, Blitz, and Unhinged.

Blitz, Unhinged, Penny Lane, and Black Market.

Provocateur, Nevermind, Rapture, and Echo Beach.

Vice, Anonymous, Noise, and Freebird.

Noise, Freebird, Armor, and Laced.

Desperation | A smokey charcoal shimmer that’s super opaque.

Muse | A dark mahogany metallic with red and purple shimmer. Opaque, but can be patchy.

Jagged | A jade, gold, bronze, brown, and black glitter. Patchy but buildable. It’s actually a very nice color when over a proper cream base. Be careful of fallout though.

Penny Lane | A rose gold with a strong copper lean. This isn’t straight-up copper though, like you’d assume from the name and how it appears in the pan. However, unless you’re looking at it in detail (as above), it’s hard to tell otherwise. To many it’s simply copper. But I guess I’m just picky like that.

Chaos | A patchy and picky cobalt blue. There are many similar colors with better payoff (think Tokidoki’s blue and NARS Outremer) but I don’t have one quite so true blue. Others tend to be deeper or darker. There’s also a tiny bit of aqua glitter hidden in there.
Easily the unofficial star of this palette. Sure, there’s a color named Vice and this isn’t “The Chaos Palette,” but we all know this is the one many people snatched this up for. It’s since become a liner, too!

Unhinged | An opaque deep aqua blue. Looks darker and more green in the pan. When I first saw this, I thought “Oh great, another shadow nearly identical to Haight and Dashiki that I already have.” But no! It’s closer to Peace than the others.

Black Market | An opaque, soft, and full black. Deep, deep black. I haven’t compared it to Blackout from Naked2, but this is an amazing black shadow. It has a slight sheen to it, where Blackout is matte.

Provocateur | A mauve glitter that’s opaque in two passes. I’ve only used this one once and it was a fallout mess.

Rapture | Super opaque deep violet. More of a gray tone to it, rather than blue or red.

Vice | An opaque vivid purple. Reminds me of Lancôme’s Miss Sweetheart D, though I think that one is matte. Maybe Purple Pumps instead? One of those.

Noise | The shadow version of Woodstock. A bright magenta with a slightly blue tone to it. I don’t own the actual Woodstock shadow, but I’d assume it’s very similar.

Armor | A deep taupe gray with a lot of shimmer. Opaque but soft-looking.

Nevermind, Echo Beach, Anonymous, Freebird, Laced

Nevermind | (Sings Nirvana in my head) A super opaque dirty taupe. Very grunge. Very sexy. I love it. I’m sure there’s a better color to describe it. I throw this on with a red lip when my creative bucket is empty. I love this so much. I’m sure it’s name helps.
